Amateur film For 'Crusoe' By AI.INK MOSBY Tllnlled Press Hollywood Writer U HOLLYWOOD (UP)-MGM waf poised to lllm "Robinson Crusoe" but a bunch of amateurs secretly heat the big movie studio, to tho .punch. . . tv.Thev have filmed an Interesting , (version of the famed classic with pan O'Herlihy, a little known ac rtor, winning the biggest role ir jSown as , the stars of the one-am movie.

T MfiM Halts Plans ) "MGM was planning to film Robinson Crusoe' with Stewar' 'Crariger, but they saw a rough jcut of our picture and tne toiiow ing day cancelled their plans," thi iictor happily reported. ' Movie-makers have avoided the lllm (a 1928 silent is the only at tempt) because it has but one character for most of the story and no Jove interest. But a New York businessman named henr? fehrlich decided to film his favorite boyhood classic. He got a friend, Philip Roll, to write a script his first screen play. Director Luis Bunuel of Spalr was hired to shoot the film in Mexico- r O'Herlihy got Into the act thankr io Ohrbach'8 department store. ; The Irish actor had come to Hollywood from London for Orsor Welles' "Macbeth" and stayed or ' to ''stagnate In nondescript roles.1' ; '"One day I got a call from OKrbach's asking if I wanted tr star in a picture in Mexico," he laughed. i "It seems the producer hachseer 'Macbeth' and thought I was in r fie wYork play. He asked a friend 8t the. New York store to trad' me down. The friend found put I was in Hollvwood and wired Ohr bach's here." i. Ran Out of Money The small company flnall assem bled in Manzanilla.

(NEA) wnite ana isegro cnuaren may sit side by side in Southern schools some time during the .. .. . . .... next generation. But complete non-segregation Ordered by the historic Supreme court ruling or May iv, win not De accomplished during tne pres. ent one. Meantime, Southern public education, which has been im proving rapidly since the war, could deteriorate during the "generation of litigation" shap ing up. These key facts emerge from the conference here of governors and officials from 15 Southern states called to discuss the rul ing. w P This Is th line-up of, attitudes: Maryland, Kentucky, West Vir ginia and Oklahoma, with the smallest negro populations, will comply, aitnougn spokesmen au mit serious aiiiicuities in worn ng the problem out. Speaking tne sentiment oi tnis group uov, William C. Marland of West Vir ginia says: We will obey the law as in. terpreted by the Supreme court". The positions- of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ar kansas Alabama, Louisiana and Florida, called "Imbetween" are typified by Virginia's Gov. Thomas B. Stanley who called (he meeting. Refusing to, go on record .as Intending to comply, he says: "We hope to work out some- thing acceptable to our people." What might be acceptable is ndlcated by a study Stanley made of the first 236 letters he received. Only seven suggested unqualified compliance. The rest demanded defiance,' Fear of re sulting racial intermarriage was at the heart oi many of tne ob jections to the decision. The extreme positions of de fiance are held by Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi. Colorful, clgar.smoklng Herman Talmadge, governor of Georgia, expresses a typical view: "From time Immemorial they've been getting around Su preme Court decisions. If neces sary, to keep our separate schools we'll a b o l is li public schools and revert' to private ichools. Talmadge and Gov. Hugh White of, Mississippi flatly say that this generation will not see segregation ended In their states. And they have doubts It will be ended during the next one. A spokesman from another South ern state says: "What happens In the future depends on how hard the non- segregatian people push it through future court action and over the other roadblocks. The people of the South don't want It and the politicians must fight it witn every legal means." ' Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, former U. S.- Secretary of State, made no public state ment, Dut reports say he has a Talmadge stand. An education official at the meeting takes this view of the problem: "The Supreme Court can't rule out prejudices and habits of thinking deeply ingrained In people's minds. And we can't change our schools overnight contrary to the wishes Of the people who pay for them, just aaow Tune-Up Cruisin' and Have our tune-up specialist go-to-town on your car's engine . . . you'll actually FEEL the 'differ ence In driving . . . and save on gas too!

JP "If necessary . . . we'll LjY p5 ' T at isli public schools . . ." -- , Rg&a! HOW THE SOUTH STANDS: Three different shadings of states match quotes that show lineup of the South on segregation. to satisfy the Supreme Court." He adds:' "Unfortunately the effort we now -must spend circumventing the ruling Is obviously going to detract from our work to im prove the school system." Other officials also admit that none of the many plans consider. ed as a way to defy the ruling would Improve the quality oi education. "And with the educa tional system In a turmoil," one adds, "teaching as a career is going to be far less attractive to both Negro and white youths considering entering this field which needs them so much." .. Talmadge Indicates his state will force a legal showdown on segregation la every school dis trict. The cost in time and money for this litigation would do great harm to Georgia's schools. Georgia's tentative plan for abolishing the public schools and subsidizing private schools, which interests the other states greatly, also lends Itself to waste arid lowered standards. A Mis sissippi plan to have children assigned to schools on the basis of health and welfare, with no mention of race would cost extra money and not add to the stand ard of education. Any private school plan, with only Negroes attending public schools, is bound to mean less enthusiasm for the school sys tem on the part of most of the taxpayers. ' . P w Talk of amending compulsory attendance laws to cut down on Negro attendance, another idea being seriously, considered by the states, would-also mean a step backwards for the general level of education. State education of ficials admit this but reason: ' "The fact Is wo are not ready to end separate schools and the result is a blow to tho progress of the schools In the South." Even those states which an nounced, Intentions to comply will send representatives to a meeting of Southern state attor neys general before the Supreme Court meets in the fall to hear proposals from the states for working out details of ending segregation. This will be another session of swapping Ideas aimed at circumventing the decision. It all adds up to the fact that the legal battle for non-segregation in schools, which began in Boston In 1849, Is not ended: In that , year abolitionist Charles Sumner argued before the Mas- For Smooth Added Power MOTORS Dodge Job-Rated Trucks Phone 26 in South Seems - i t I i i 1 AlW II ; .

' m - . : The court ruled that as lone as the Negro school was as good as the white school there was no discrimination. That became the basis for the "separate but equal" doctrine which remained in effect until the May 17 de cision. Only Virginia, South Carolina. Delaware, Kansas and the Dis trict of Columbia were parties in the case. But it isobvious how it concerns the other states. Dela ware, Kansas and the District of Columbia all have plans for complete compliance. However, opinions expressed at the governors' meeting make it obvious that those who fought for non-segregation did not win final victory by the Supreme Court decision and that an even more bitter fight probably lies ahead- , Wife Has Faith Husband Safe LOS ANGELES (UP) Mrs. John Tillotson, wife- of an American fruit company executive now being held a prisoner by Guatemalan ommunists, said today she wasn't worried for his safety because 'he's not afraid."
